To the Fort Frances Times, Konnichiwa! I am writing to you from a junior high school in north-central Japan. I came to Japan one month ago today to teach English. It is gorgeous here, and I have already had many amazing experiences. Yet my heart is still in Canada. […]

Dear Editor, For all friends of Amanda Chaboyer, formerly of Fort Frances, she is in the Much Music video “Where are you?” by Our Lady Peace. She was lucky to have created her own Native group and was asked to perform for this group. Check the video out—you can see […]

The Atikokan generating station alone accounts for about 20 percent of that fragile economy. If your government closes the Atikokan generating station, that economy […]
Dear sir: I am writing this letter to Premier Dalton McGuinty to persuade him to stop the irrational plan to shut down Atikokan’s thermal generating station. My husband and I were in the Toronto area during the last week of July. While we were there, we noticed televised appeals to […]
